At the conclusion of routine business, a
motion to adjourn called forth a suggestion
by, Chairman Boyd that the time bad ar
rived for the board to take thirty days' vaca

was a disinclination among some of the
members to lay business over for such a
lencth of time, and a motion made to ad
journ until September Ist was lost by a
vote of _ to 3, Supervisor Boyd, Becker and
Wheian being the only ones who voted in
the affirmative.
Suiervisor Boyd was somewhat Indig
nant, and remarked that the board had bet
ter adjourn for six months. An adjourn
ment was finally taken until next Monday
night.
THE NEW SEA-WALL.
-*Kjnßß*o^-^H>T*f***Vnr^*HnS7-n
Probable Cost of the Proposed
Western Extension.
At the meeting of tlie Harbor Commis
sioners to-day Chairman English will be at
bis accustomed place aud the board will
listen to the report of Engineer Mansou,
wh'i will submit the plans and specifica
tions for Hit* extension of Section li of the
sea-wall 1000 feet west of Powell street, to a
point about on a line with Taylor.
Engineer Mansou says that the proposed
extension of the sea-wall will cost very
much less than similar sections further
around. in the bay, the reason being that a
much firmer bottom is found at North
Beach upon which to build. Mr. Manson
declined to say at what figure be had esti
mated the cost, for the reason that his esti
mates on any particular work are never
male known until alter the bids are all in.
A comparison, however, of the cost of
former sections will give some idea of the
expected cost of the proposed one. See-
I Dos 3 and i were quite costly, 1235 and
--I" respectively per loot front having been
paid for them. These were the sections
in the construction of which so much steal
ing is alleged to have been done. Section
5, under another administration, cost $189
per foot front; Section 6, 8158, and Section
7, in i lk- construction of which there were
less -..!,:•••- than in the others, 5129 per
foot front. If, a- the engineer says, the
proposed extension will cost very much less '
than the oilier sections, it would perhaps be
safe to place Hie cost at about ?125 per foot
front, and at this figure. the 1000 feet will
cost 5125,000.
Another important matter that will come
up before the board to-day will be the let
ting of the contract for the building of ' the
new car ferry slip at the foot of Lombard
street. Tills slip will, wheu completed, be
the central point for the unloading of
steamers ami ior the ferrying of freight to
and from this city, lt will be built of
wooden piles.
"What will be done to protect these piles
from the ravages of the teredo." was asked
of Engineer Mauson.
"1 do nut Know," he replied. ' "The best
thing i- a coaling oi copper sheeting, but
that is too expensive. There are many
patent preparations for coating piles, for all
of which are claimed great things; but I
have ne faith in any of theni. Perhaps,'
alter all, the cheapest way Is to replace the
piles as fast .'as the insect destroys them.
In bright, clear iter a pile will last a year
or two, but in places where the sewers
empty into the water and defile it, the te
redo does not work well and the piles last
fifteen or twenty years." .
REDUCED '10 ASHES.
A Deserted Cottage in tin* Center of a
Hloek. Destroyed .
An alarm Of fire was. turned in at 12:15
o'clock from Box 12. As the bell sounded a
bright blaze, shot up from the center of tiie
block bounded by Kearny, Dupont, Cali
fornia and Sacramento streets, illuminating
the neighborhood and giving every appear
ance ot ,i large fire.
The engines were early on the scene, hav
ing- but a. short distance to go. Several
lines Of hose were quickly run in
through an alleyway, the lire having
been 'found- to be in .an old, deserted
cottage, right {in the center of the block.
Tne building was situated some distance
from every' other structure in the block,
otherwise, owing to the difficulty of access
and the -combustible .character of the sur
rounding houses, a large fire would have
resulted. . .
As it was, the cottage was entirely de
stroyed With its contents— a quantity of old
articles. The cottage behiuged to the
lilumenber_ estate, and w_s iv the rear of
612 California street A similar shanty
stood oil the site and was burned some
years ago. ft was then used as a Chinese
laundry. The damage is not supposed to
exceed $-00. There was considerable ex
citement during the fire, a large crowd hav
ing been attracted by the flames.

THE MORNING GALL, SAN FRANCISCO, TUESDAY, JULY 29. 1890-EIGHT PAGES.
LOCAL POLITICS.
Markham's Strength Steadily on
the Increase.
A Nice Little Bow Broken Oat Anion? the
Los Angeles Democrats -Buckley's Great
Wealth-Club Meetings.
There is a growing conviction among
the politicians that Colonel Markham will
be tbe llepublican candidate for Governor,
and the more sanguine of his followers are
claiming that one ballot will bo sufficient to
secure bis nomination.
It must be confessed that the claim is
worthy of consideration, and it certainly
looks as if two ballots would land him at the
head of the ticket, with votes to spare. The.
drift of sentiment is all jn bis direction, and
every day seems to add to bis strength,
which is now more than double that of any
of his competitors. His followers, how
ever, have uot allowed themselves to grow
careless through over-confidence, but are
working with as much energy ns if their
leader was in the rear ranks of the proces
sion instead of at. the front.
They are to be met with at every turn,
and the hotel corridors literally swarm with
them. No delegate to the State Conven
tion whose preferences are at all in doubt
is allowed' to escape, and tliey are losing no
opportunity to strengthen their cause.
While lliey are making no particular claims
beyond the counties that have pledged
their delegates they are making estimates,
and while none liave been given to the pub
lic, it was learned yesterday that their
latest figures are as follows:
.sixth Congres-loual-iistrlct (wild) 188
Alameda TO
Santa Clara '*■•'
Veto *, 7
Santa Cruz .- il
San- J 1 yen- ism so
.s.,:v Mateo 1
Total -we
This estimate includes only the dele
gates of which they feel reasonably as
sured, and does not, as it will be seen, in
clude Sacramento, with twenty-five dele
gates, who aie as likely to go to Markham
as to Morrow. As it requires but 339 to
nominate, it is evident that their claim is a
strong one, but in calculating, the ten votes
of -Nana must not be overlooked, which
will naturally go to the Los Angeles man,
in order to secure tiie support of that sec
tion for Coombs, who will make a strung
fight for second place. Taken altogether,
Markham looks like a sure winner, and the
Knowing ones of both parties are already
conceding his nomination.

An Offer That XVrta Made by Him for a
J'lei-rB or I'r«i|it*rl v.
It may be agreeable to the workers of the
Democratic party who have toiled for years
for the success ol Buckley, and who have
remained as poor as they were when they
first put on the harness, that the "ooss" has
but recently made an oiler of $125,000 spot
cash for a piece of property on .Market
street, If any proof were needed of
this fact that Buckley has grown
rich, this would be sufficient, for
men who are nut enormously wealthy
cannot be in position to make such offers.
But proof is not needed. Buckley's friends
acknowledge that he has amassed a large
fortune, aud insist that political success in
the future is to him a matter of indifference.
."Saul one of them last night: "Why
should Buckley worry over the movement
which lias been organized against him?
He is .rich, and would, prefer to retire and
enjoy his money. Besides, he is a man who
eujoys luxury and does not care to be wor
ried by a crowd of hungry office-seekers.
He no longer needs to depend upon politics
aud can now laugh at all attempts to over
throw his power." .
In other Words Buckley, now that he has
used the workers ol the party to his own
.advantage, is ready to throw them over
board in order to free himself of them.
Still no one believes that Buckley will so
easily relinquish his bold on the party, but
that he is endeavoring to hold himself
aloof from his old associates, who have
grown distasteful to him, events show most
conclusively.
That he will be able to do this and still
retain his power is doubtful, and the mut
tr-i ing- that are already heard among those
who have aided him in the accumulation of
his ill-gotten wealth, he wil! find it hard to
quiet. The news of his latest offer will
not have a soothing effect on the "boys."
AN ANGRY I. Hi mi:.
Los Angeles Democrats Rowiug Among
Themselves.
The Democrats of Los Angeles are sadly
at war, and the editor of the Herald, who
is a delegate at large to the State Conven
tion, unburdens himself as follows:
If there Is a delegate to tlie San Jose convrn-
Ilnii who lias served a term In San Qnentin, is It
not riclit that the Herald should suffer greatly
and should feel liin; the party has suffered au
iutoleiabie injury at appearance this man's
Dame among the delegates who represent a
great patty.and. a patriotic and oilcui.il Idea?
One of ihe editors of llie Herald is one of the
delegaies-et-'large to tin- Democratic state Con
vention at Sail Jose. .and lie lias no hesitation io
saying that he will send In his resignation as a
member- of thai body unless this person Is ex
punged from such membership.
The whole trouble seems- to have origi
nated in the fact that the editor referred to
is a Staunch adherent of Mayor Pond, who
wits knocked out by the- Coleman men at
the Los Angeles primaries. The latter, to
draw it tnriii, are angry over the utterances
of the Herald-, and express themselves as
not only willing that Mr. Lynch should re
sign, but even threaten to demand that his
name be expunged from the list of dele
gates.
DTJNM CLAIMS A VICTOItY.
A Urgetlng of -the* Republican Executive
Ci. mi, ut let*.
The Bepublican Executive Committee
met last night at its headquarters at the
corner .of Stockton and Ellis streets, but
little business was transacted. President
Mike Dunn presided, and on calling the
body to order congratulated theni on the
result of the recent primaries, which is
claimed as a victory of great import.
A small amount of routine business was
transacted, and Committeeman Bales sur
prised the members by introducing a reso
lution indorsing Markham for Governor.
Seveial of the members opposed it on the
• ground that it would be ill-advised for the
committee to commit itself to any candi
date: .
All spoke favorably of Colonel Markham,
but protested against any action of the
kind proposed. The result was that the
resolution was withdrawn.
COLONEL COLLINS' VIEWS.
The lloston Statesman on this Huhject of
California l'liUtlcs.
. Colonel Patrick A. Collins of Boston, he
of the silver tongue, has returned to his
home from' an extended tour of the Pacific
States and Territories, and has the follow
ing to say on politics:
Oregon lias elecied and re-elected a Democrat
for Governor, Inn live Slate's imputation is really
liei -iii.lic_.il by a small majority. California lias
a fight on baud that looks well. If English and
While and the oilier energetic men who an* lead*
Ing toe Democrats can cany II this fall there Is
strong hope In 1892, and a chance for a Call
lo'ma Vice-President. The Republican majority
in Washington serins hard to overcome, but the
Democrat* are among the best men In the State.
They are jttst organizing systematically, anil Willi
iv. help ol the glowing sentiment about the
tariff, silver and extravagant expenditures, they
sluntl a fair-chance."
What Colonel Collins doesn't know about
Pa i lie Coast politics would fill a large sized
book.
Will Favor Coleman.
Hon. D. J. Murphy of San Jose has an
nounced.himself as favorable to the nomi
nation of James V. Coleman for Governor
nnd has expressed llie belief that the latter
is the only Democrat who can hope to de
feat Mnikhanr, whose nomination by the
Republicans he regards ns a foregone con
clusion. It is noticeable that the Coleman
men are doing all the talking, while the
Pond men are wisely keeping their own
counsel but are doing a great deal of .effect
ive work.

me report, mat me r_ngnsn syndicate
which recently purchased a number of
breweries here is about to start a large sa
loon on Market street has aroused the re
tail liquor-dealers, and a call has been
issued to all saloon, grocery and restaurant
keepers to meet in Metropolitan Hall on
Friday, August Ist, at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, "for the purpose of forming a strong
union to protect the interests of our busi
ness against auy possible attempt of the
English syndicate to . injure the same."
Colonel Denlcke, manager of the syndicate
referred to, denies that it meditates any
scheme to raise the price of beer or open
opposition saloons, aud charges that the
saloon-keepers are animated in the matter
by outside breweries which were unable to
successfully carry out their negotiations
with the company,
FHESBYTKKIAN UNION.
An Address on Mot-monism by Rev. 91.
T. Limit of I'tah.
A meeting of the Presbyterian Ministerial
U nion was held yesterday morning in Cal
vary Church. The Rev. J. B.Campbell,
who has been elected President for the en
suing term, presided. A telegram was re
ceived from Dr. XV. A. Sample, whom he
succeeded, stating his inability to attend. -
Rev. M. F. Lamb, who has been engaged
in missionary work in Utah for a number of
years, addressed the union on the subject
of "Mormonisiu." lie said that Mormon
children are baptized at 8 years of age. A
boy may become a deacon at 12, may enter
tl* lesser or Aaronic priesthood at 18, and
at 25 may be made a prie3t after the order
of Melcbizedec, the expectation being that
lie will some time become a god.
"The Mormons hold." said the speaker,
"that this world was created by Adam, and
peopled with his descendants, and that he
is the God by whom it is new governed.
So each Mormon, it is claimed, who reaches
the position of a god, will have the power
to create a world somewhere in space,
which be will people and rule as Adam
does this one, the women whom ho has
made his wives here being there his queens.
Belief in this nonsense makes many of the
Mormon women content with their lives of
drudgery, they looking forward to the eter
nity of ease and enjoyment promised them
as ample compensation for all their toil and
privation here."
Mi. Lamb further said that the great
hope for ihe future of the Mormons is in
tlie children and young people. One of
their elders not long ago stated publicly
that fully a third of their young ineu were
what he termed "infidels," and at least an
other tliird are really disbelievers iv Mor
inonisin. though they have not yet declared
themselves such. At the next meeting
"The Inappropriate Uses of Douses of
Worship" will be considered, the discussion
to be opened by Rev. J. M. Thompson.
FREMA'i UKELY VICIOUS.
Eugene lIA.-a Stabbed Twice by a hoy
Companion.
Eugene Hayes, aged about 12, and resid
ing at l-20}_ Broadway, and another boy
named Willie Bride, some time ago entered
into partnership to raise pigeons. The
birds were kept at young Bride's house. A
disagreement occurred, and late yesterday
afternoon IlaVes called on Bride and de
manded his share of the pigeons. Bride
refused to share the birds and asked Hayes
if he wanted to fight for them, to which an
affirmative answer was returned.
The boys adjourned to the street to settle
their difficulty. Bride was worsted in the
fight, during which Hayes claims tbat his
opponent drew a penknife and stabbed him
three times, wounding him twice. The in
jured hoy, instead of returning home, went
to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Wolff
made au examination; and found that he
had beeu stabbed in the left shoulder and
in the leit hip.
The cuts were not deeper than a half
inch, and the wounds are nearly superficial.
Hayes Stated that after Bride used his pen
knife he became frightened and ran off.
The wounded boy also said that ho would
ask his father to have Bride arrested. The
hospital officials thought that if Haves'
story is true it showed an early develop
lneut of viciousness on the part of Bride.
SOUTH LEACH LOTS.
Ex-Senator Fair Negotiating fore Large
l*urcli.-ise.
It was learned yesterday that ex-Senator
James G. Fair is negotiating for the pur
chase of about twenty blocks of water lots
at North Beach, the tract having been
secured some time ago at a low figure by a
syndicate called the North San Francisco
Land and Homestead Association.
As soon as it was kuown that the Board
of Harbor Commissioners bad decided to
extend the sea-wall from the foot of Powell
street westward, the property rose enor
mously in value. The water-front lots in
the neighborhood of the wharves command
high pines as sites for warehouses, and as
the sea-wall is extended the lots in the
vicinity, which were previously compara
tively worthless, command high prices.
A few days ago a syndicate formed by-
Albert Miller, President of the San Fran
cisco .Savings Union, offered the L.in.l Com
pany $2-0,000 for the property mentioned.
Senator Fair heard of the. prospective deal
and made an offer of 5230,000. His terms
were accepted and a deposit paid to bind
the contract. - It is said that the ex-Senator
is also negotiating for the purchase of ad
ditional property in the neighborhood.
A SLTP(LSI'.I) LUI'TEKY.
The rolice Is Still Making Raids In the
1 '■■ or ... On_rt-*r.
Sergeant Spillane and Officer Arlington
noticed a man sitting in a suspicious man
ner in front of 07' C, Clay street Inst night and
arrested him. The police have long thoupht
that a lottery was being conducted at the
number mentioned, but have been unable
to corner the players. •
When the man was arrested he shook his
c lollies violently, and Spillaue observed
some lottery tickets fall on the ground.
The accused gave the name of Nicholas
Flodian, and was locked up at the Central
Station on the charge of having lottery
tickets in his possession.
The raid against tan game.-, lottery places
and disreputable houses still continues in
Chinatown, and- the posse is doing very
effective work, which is apparent from the
fact that the Chinese quarter has never
been known to be so peaceful and quiet as
at present This fact is being frequently
commented upon by visitors, who say that
the quarter is not the same place it was a
year ago.

WORKING TOGETHER.
Pioneers and Nul ive Sons Join in
One Effort.
Result of the Conference Meeting— The Great
Seed of the Hour Is Money—En
couragement From Napa.
Testerday afternoon the committees oh
conference of the Pioneers and Native Sons
met in joint session in Pioneers' Hall to
look into tbe particulars of the coming
celebration, as detailed and worked out by
the Sons. Messrs. E. K. Vreeland, H. H.
Taylor and 11. B. Buss of the Pioneers and
M. A. Durn, C. L. Tilden, John H. Grady
and Dr. C. W. Decker of tbe Native Sons
were present-
After a lengthy discussion of tbe details
Of each department, the joint Conference
Committee decided to Issue invitations to
the various pioneers and their organizations
throughout the State.
This meeting the Native Sons regard as
a fair initiation into the work of making
tbe celebration a feature for the older as
well as the young people of the State. The
Sons do not regard with favor the idea tiiat
the Pioneers have of giving a banquet, ii
they are to look upon it as a side effort.
They think that the proposed celebration,
as outlined, is elaborate enough to give the
Native Sons and Pioneers all they can do
to make it a success, and all "side efforts"
they frown upon. They are hopeful that
the Pioneers will come into line and advo
cate in tnto all their plans instead of patch
ing up a truce; and while they know that
some such undertaking on the part of the
Pioneers must result, they want it to be in
corporated in their programme.
ENCO-EAGEMENT FROM NAPA.
Henry Hopan, Grand Trustee of the or
der of Native Sons, aud a member of Napa
Parlor, called at the headquarters of the
joint committee yesterday afternoon, and
reported progress in Napa County,
He said that at a meeting of his parlor,
held last Friday evening, a committee, com
posed of Frank L. Combs, Henry C. Ges
ford and himself, was appointed to devise
ways aud means for an excursion from Na
pa Valley, with the three parlors of the
county and their friends aboard, to San
Francisco, to attend the celebration.
" Our committee has," said Mr. Hogan,
"to act in conjunction with a committee,
comprising Charles Vann and E. Galousky,
of the St Helena Parlor, and a committee
from Calistoga, which has not yet been ap
pointed.
" We jointly purpose to charter a train,
ami perhaps a steamer, to deliver us in San
Francisco. There is now a movement on
foot to have all the merchant, close during
the celebration, to give their clerks, nearly
allot whom are Native Sous, a chance to
come.
"In the procession we are going to havo
what 1 have not seen reported from any
other parlor— six of the original Bear Flag
party. Their names are Cal. Griffiths, Will
iam Baldrich, John York, Henry Porter
field, William Hargrave and Henry Fowler.
1 would like to suggest that every member .
of that party be brought up and pat into
line."
ONE FACTOR LOST SIGHT OF. .
While the eyes of the public ate upon the
Pioneers and Native Sons, another factor
in making the occasion of celebration one
oi vote is being lost sight of. The Native
Daughters cannot "hustle" about 113 do
their stronger brothers, but their work is
nonetheless patriotic and pursued with not
a whit less of iuterest.
Between the parlors there is a gentle
rivalry, which is being pushed in silence.
They are trying to outshine each other in
the decorations and tableaux, and, as a
natural sequence, the public may prepare
Itself to be agreeably surprised at the
beauty of the designs of some of the booths.
Each of the four local parlors will have a
booth in the. Pavilion, and united as well as
individual efforts will go to make them not
only attractive but charming. Besides, the
Native Daughters have been given full
sway on the stage, and the tableaux to be
given are, if indications go for aught, to be
the best ever given in this city.
. The Native Sons are to bo congratulated
' -or-on the enthusiasm and continuity of pur
pose their fair sisters and others' sisters
are evincing in their behalf under the
leadership of- the chivalrous George U.
Fippy.
A SECRET CAUCUS.
A meeting of a few of the most promi
nent members of the Finance Committee
was held yesterday afternoon at the head
quarters. Charles F. Crocker, It. P. Ham
mond Jr., C. L. Tilden, Charles Doekray
and others were present. The object of
the conference was to devise means of
furthering the amount of subscriptions.
What was determined upon at the session
could not be learned since the press was
excluded from the hearing. Mr. Crocker
said, however, that were it not necessary to
know about how much the Joint Committee
would need, he would favor having col
lecting done for three or lour weeks yet.
Evidently ho thinks the early subscription
is not being relished by the merchants and
others called on to subscribe.
TWK.VTY-I'IGIIT BLOCKS DECORATED.
The Decoration Committee has com
pleted its arrangements fur the decoration
of twenty-eight blocks, eighteen of which
are on Market street, five on Kearny, four
on Montgomery and one on California,
besides Hags, banners, figures of historical
subjects and the grand arch over Market
street will add to and be special features
of the decorations.
An interesting feature, if it be not carried
ad absurdam, will be the floats in the
parade representing the trades. It is
thought that the many labor unions of San
Francisco will each contribute a lloat em
bracing their special trade, and such a
display will add materially to the beauty of
the procession, but if individual shops, fac
tories or companies add to the mass in
order to bring their names before the pub
lic they will become an eye-sore and will
detract from the purpose of the day.
COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
The Excursion Committee met last even
ing to take notion on the report to the
joint committee, which had been - laid
on - tho table until the prospects of
funds had been determined. The meeting
only lasted about ten minutes, but that was
long enough to find that the committeemen
favored having the report remain where it
is— on the table— an adjournment took
place without any action on the matter.
The Committee on Grand Ball also held a
meeting to inquire into the merits of de
signs for invitations and tickets and re
ceive bids, but made no decision and will
not until the Finance Committee drags its
weary length from its headquarters into
the busy marts. The Commitloe's only re
port is and will be "progress," until the
Finance Committee gathers funds enough
to insure further work on its part.
COLONEL C'I'OCKKI! ON HAND.
"That wont be long," said one of them
last night, '"as Colonel Crocker has re
turned and expresses himself displeased at
the lank of energy ami the smalluess of
funds subscribed. He is going to have the
whole committee -go out immediately to get
a few of those 51000 subscriptions they ye
been talking about."
Golden Gate Parlor, No 29, reports having
secured a bear up in the Sierras, and in
tends to have him in the procession.
THE MARKET-STREET ARCH.
The Sketch Club of San Francisco at a
meeting held last night at the Flood Build
ing passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That this club enters a vigorous
protest ar-nnist ■ tin) design published for
the decorative arch which is to be
elected in connection with the celebration
of Admission day; and that while recoenizlug
the laudable spirit manifested In the purpose of
the committee. II is to be greatly deplored that a
more artistic and filling tribute should not be
rendered the event to be comuienioiaied. Inas
much as the fact remains Incontrovertible mat
Ihe means to obtain a better result are and have
been within tbe power of the Committee on Deco
rations.

BREAKFAST.
"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws
which govern the operations of digestion ami nutri-
tion, anil liy a careful application of the line proper-
lies of .well-selected Cocoa. Mr. Epps has provided
our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored bev-
erage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills.
It Is by the Judicious use of such articles of diet that
a constitution may be gradually built up until strong
enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hun-
dreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready
to attack wherever there Is a weak point. We may
escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well
fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished
frame."— Civil service Gazette.
